Getting to see Holsapple & Stamey and Chuck Prophet, then playing a show with the Kennedys: this part alone would make me feel blessed by the gods. Glad you got the well deserved good time.
"What might have happened if professional song writers (in this case Cole Porter, Mozart, any real cool cat, and Gilbert and Sullivan) had written folk songs is illustrated in 'Clementine'."

Super-cute!
Your opening reminded me of Tom Lehrer's "Vatican Rag":
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional.
There the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

Much of his stuff is phenomenal. Brace yself:
